You know what the best way is to make sure that happens? Equate the two for so long that when the gun control lobby eventually wins people fail to give credit to your arguments. My personal opinion -- the current constitutional regime is a

I wonder if Uber will have the capital or credit to roll into acquiring a fleet of self-driving cars by the time the tech is even ready. Remember, they don't have any fixed transit assets now -- their driver contractors are all on the

The car was not in the right place, or it would not have hit her. In the state of Arizona a pedestrian has right of way in front of any vehicle, and the driver must yield to any pedestrian on the same side of the road. Edited to add: We don

It would help if you actually state the country in question, so we can properly judge your statement's applicability. In the USA laws vary by state -- in California it is typically almost always incumbent on the driver to avoid pedestr

No credible evidence of either of those theories have ever been put forward. Meanwhile we have George Papadopoulos pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about his involvement in a Trump-Russia conspiracy. If anything this whole event should p

I've come around to the idea that role playing racism/sexism in gaming is just a dodge. It's the "just a prank bro"/"can't you take a joke?" of online shitlording. And the vast majority of the st

Here's the thing. How much that toxic shit bothers you is a function of multiple things, but ultimately it's a bell curve. Some people are going to fall to the far left and think it's great, some people are going to fall to t

Nope. Pretty much any nonpublic silicon valley companies aren't -- some public ones too. They are spending more money then they have, in the short term, in order to become bigger and more successful in the long term. That's why th

I was a CS dropout who didn't work anywhere near SV when I was hired. The filter (and recruiting pipeline, given the proximity and deep connections to Stanford) tends to correlate with "top CS schools", but I promise you that

I'm in kind of an odd position, because I worked there for many years with no CS degree at all and I was a lot older than most (not all). They do hire people who are great at CS things, and that often translates into mostly people from

This is mostly good advice -- it's worth knowing both worst case and amortized average time -- but plenty of interviewers will filter you if you're being an aggressive asshole, even if you're right about facts. Make sure you&

I just accepted a position at Asana, and I don't have a CS degree. Are you sure you're correctly attributing your non-offer here? (Note I don't call it a failure. Hiring is a weighted RNG -- false negatives are common.)
